RPL Attorney Deena R. Merlen Presents Mentor Session at SXSW

RPL partner Deena R. Merlen was invited to present a Mentor Session at South By Southwest (“SXSW”) Music, Film and Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas this month. SXSW brings national and international figures from the music, film and new media technology industries together to share and showcase new works, technologies and ideas each year. Ms. Merlen presented a Mentor Session on Entrepreneurialism and Business at SXSW on March 10, 2013. RPL counsel Andrew Gerber also attended SXSW, along with Al Gore, Justin Timberlake, Matthew McConaughey, Prince, Steve Carell, Willie Nelson, LL Cool J, Snoop Lion, Selena Gomez, Jack Black, Jim Carrey, Fergie, Shaquille O’Neal, Jeremy Lin and tens of thousands of other people. While the total headcount is not yet in for 2013, SXSW had over 60,000 registrants in 2012, and is generally considered the largest and most influential convergent event of its kind in the world.
